Few bits of news from the Intel world:

Intel 64-bit extensions nearly identical to AMD64 (Thanks Inq) - Although this was fairly obvious from the beginning, In-Stat MDR has confirmed that after careful analysis of Intel's 64-bit extension set, it's basically just a reverse engineered AMD64 command set. This signals a huge departure for Intel as 3DNow! was ignored and AMD has always been the one to duplicate Intel's instruction sets.
